  <h1>Performing builds automatically</h1>
  <p>To indicate that you want the Workbench to perform incremental builds whenever resources are saved:</p>
  <ol>
    <li>Open the <a class="command-link" href=
    'javascript:executeCommand("org.eclipse.ui.window.preferences(preferencePageId=org.eclipse.ui.preferencePages.Workspace)")'>
    <img src="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.help/command_link.svg" alt="command link"> <b>General &gt; Workspace</b></a>
    preference page.</li>
    <li>Select the <b>Build automatically</b> checkbox.</li>
    <li>Click <b>OK</b> to close the Preferences page. The Workbench will automatically perform incremental builds of
    resources modified since the last build. Whenever a resource is modified, another incremental build occurs.</li>
  </ol>
